Abstract excerpt
The acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are proton-gated, voltage-insensitive cation channels expressed throughout the nervous system. ASIC1a plays a role in learning, pain, and fear-related behaviors. In addition, activation of ASIC1a during prolonged acidosis following cerebral ischemia induces n...
